Default New garden

My onions are thriving.
I plan to get some peppers in this weekend, bell, banana, and some jalapeno.
My amaryllis just bloomed and my cannas are starting to come up again.
The rosemary is doing great and the roses are blooming.
My bluebonnets didn't come up at all... hopefully next year they will all
bloom at once.
Strawberries didn't make it, I made DH promise that he would remind me this
year that I *really* *don't* need strawberry plants because I just don't
take care of them.
I think that's it here... oh, my cactus (one prickly one and one without,
can't remember the names) are all doing great. Hmmmmm... was cacti plural?
With hope and heart,
Kathleen, also in Wimberley

How are the rest of you progressing? This is the best time of year
for gardening , but so few posts. Just wondering.


Things are popping up all over my yard.

The Zoysia seems to be coming in pretty well, planted it in late
January. anyone know how long I need to keep watering it to get it
established?
Roses are blooming up a storm.
1 Calla lily has bloomed with others on the way.
Stargazers are about to open up also
Tiger lily's look like they will follow the stargazers about a week or
two afterwards.
Castor Beans are popping up. I expect they will make it to 10-12' this
year.
Passion Flower (both Red and regular) are starting to come back from the
roots. They froze down to the groud this winter.
Mexican Plum finished blooming a while back
Texas Orchid just finished blooming
Althea/Rose of Sharon is coming out nicely it usually doesn't bloom
until later.
Mountain Laurel has already run it's course and is doing fine.

Basically the garden is coming up nicely, I love this time of year!

Take care, time to go smell the roses!
